Think pink: Nominees sought for Kentucky Oaks' Survivors Parade

(FOX19) - For the sixth year, the Survivors Parade presented by Kroger will happen on Kentucky Oaks Day. This year the Kentucky Oaks is May 2, the day before the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby.

It's a march of breast and ovarian cancer survivors which takes place on Churchill Downs' racetrack directly prior to the Longines Kentucky Oaks race.
